Music Sunday was such a success! Thanks Ron and Marguerite Miller for working with the choirs! Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 09-10-26 Pastor Jeannine asked us when we were in school how we felt about pop quizzes. Who do people say the son of man is? We gather together to have the spirit. We gather together to be a disciple of Christ. Pastor Jeannine asked us what a cross means. It’s a symbol that Jesus put himself out there so we don’t have to face life alone. Wearing a cross is a good reminder! Lots of wonderful hymns and songs from the kids and adult choirs for Music Sunday. We also passed the bucket for Hope Walk, as we do on all of our fifth-Sunday Music Sundays. On 9/21 a pass the dish picnic is being planned for all of those who have helped with Sunday School or nursery this past year. Should be fun! School is back in session. Watch for those kiddos walking and on their bikes. Come worship with us at 9am Sundays! We have nursery and Sunday School services.

Our Bluff Point crew were busy serving the Oak Hill barbeque this past weekend. Article by Joyce L. Wiedrich 09-03-26 Pastor Jeannine showed the kids a diagram of geese flying. The lead goose is the head of the pack. Is the geese fly in a V shape formation. When the goose gets tired, another takes over the lead role. Helping others is part of being a member of this church this church. At this church we all work together! Examples of this teamwork were this past weekend, when many of our church members worked together to serve Oak Hill’s Saturday barbecue. We set up, served, and cleaned up afterwards. Following this was the annual Yates County Hope Walk, led by Ron Miller. Many of us in church participated filling luminary bags with sand, helped with the silent auction, designing luminary bags and we also walked to support the effort. It feels good to be part of a team. Pastor Jeannine reminded us that we are all part of the body of Christ and that God loves us. We need to tell others of the love of Christ. Think of inviting others to come to church. Some of us are welcomers, some are supporters. We are all part of the body of Christ. We need to give our heart, mind, and well and obedient service as an offering to Christ. Pastor Jeannine and Phil are now moved into the Dresden parsonage. The open house is from 3 to 6 PM on Thursday, September 3. On Sunday, September 6 we will have blessings of the backpacks for the kids and for anyone involved in education. It’s important for us to send our teachers in our students back to school with love and support. Please join our little country church at 9 AM on Sundays!
